IMPROVEM ENT IN` RESERVOIR C'OOKlN'G-STOl/ES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,944, dated May 2, 1876; application tiled l March 31, 1876.

This invention consists, first, in the combi` nation, in a reservoir cooking-stove having parallel iiues leadingfrom aue above the oven to a flue below the same, and the nue under the water-reservoir, of a double damper for closing the communicationV between oneof said parallel tlues and the flue above the oven, and opening communication between the said iue and the exit-due, for the purpose ot' throwing the' heatedproducts of combustion under the reservoir, substantially as described second, inv the combination, in a reservoir cooking-stove provided with a reservoir-casing at one end, and having parallel flues leading into a tlue within the reservoir-casing and a ue under the oven, of a partition extending from the rear of the iiue, under the bottom of the oven, to near the frontend of the same, for compelling the heated products ol'combustion to thoroughly traverse said due under the oven on their way to the exit-pipe.`

In the'drawing, Figure l is a sectional elevation of a cooking-stove constructed according to my invention; Fig. 2, a plan view ot' the same with the top removed 5 Fig. 3, a sectional View taken on the line w .fr of Fig. l.;

and Fig. 4 a sectional view on the line y y,

Fig. l, With the water-reservoir removed,`and a portion of the stove below the reservoir-casing with the outer wall removed, showing the lines under the oven.

Theletter A represents a stove or portable range, provided with a tire-box and ashpit, B, at one end, and a water-reservoir, C, at the other. D represents an intermediate oven, with the usual dues above and below the same for the passage of the products of combustion and hot gases. E represents a partition-plate,extending from near the center of the top of the oven to the end of the same adjoining the water-reservoir, and down the due at said end nearly to the bottom of the saine, forming two lues, F F', communicating with the tlue Gr under the bottom of the reservoir and with the flue G under the oven. 'H and I represent two dampers, secured upon a common dam per-rod, K, passing through the front of the stove.

lhedamper H is arranged to open and clos'e the communication between the tlue F and the flue leading from the lire-box of the stove, and the damper I to open and close communication between the tlue F and the chimney, the relative positions of the two dampers upon the rod K being such that when one damper is opened the other will be closed.

The flue G under the bottom of the oven is provided with 'a transverse partition-plate, M, extending from the back about half-way across the same, and said flue communicates with the exit-line, at 'or near its bottom, by means'of an opening, b.

'lhe reservoir C consists of an outer casing, c, forming part of the stove proper, and an interior casing, c', forming the tank,which may be made removable, if desired. The said casing o does not extend quite to the bottom of the outer casing c, leaving the flue G under said :interior casing, which communicates with the dues F F at their lower ends.

The operation of my invention will be readily understood from the foregoing description. When the damper His open, the damper I being closed, the heated gases and products of combustion pass down over the top of the oven, and, at the side of the same, di-

rectly into the flue under the oven, and out through the opening b, into the exit-due, without passing through the due in the bottom of the reservoir. l/Vhenk said damper H is closed, the damper l being opened, the hot products are carried down through the due F into and through the line G, and up 'Through the due F", and into the exit-due, thoroughly and ed'ectually heating the water in the reservoir.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Lctl the heated products of combustion to thoroughly traverse said Hue under the oven on their way t0 the exit-pipe, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of the subscribing Witnesses.
